Abstract
Methodology. The study was conducted using regression and correlation analysis on a sample of 300 adults aged 21 to 50 in romantic relationships (married couples and couples in romantic relationships).
Results. The greatest contribution to the manifestation of a high degree of jealousy in romantic relationships is made by such personality characteristics as a tendency to negative affective reactions and avoidance of discussing problems in a couple; dissatisfaction with interpersonal relationships and a high degree of tension and conflict; anxious attachment type and fear of losing the partner; dysfunctional type of emotional communication in the family of origin.
Research implications. The obtained results can be used in developing tactics for counseling married and romantic couples where jealousy becomes a destructive factor in the development of relationships leading to mistrust, destructive conflicts and the breakdown of these relationships.
